if I was wading a river and the land on each side was private property would it be okay for me to fish as long as I stayed in the river or could they still run me off

In our state we get a fishing or a hunting brochure with all the rules in it. Do you have anything like that? It should have the answer there. Or is there a Q and A section on your state DNR site?

In Michigan you are allowed to walk on the shore along a river, but not onto the land, when fishing. We frequently see wader foot tracks walking along our trail by the river, (about 5 or 6 feet inland) they seem to use it to get around a deep spot in the river.

Another thing you can do is check with the people who own the property and ask if it's ok to fish there.

Check your state laws!! In Texas Waders and fishermen may use the banks of any navigable stream up to the first cut bank. If a small boat can float a person downstream it will usually be called navigable.
